I&#39;m sorry for having missed reading this, and most certainly sorry to hear of your loss. The pain at first, as it is for all of us who have gone through such an experience, may seem unbearable, but I trust you are beginning to move into the realm of those precious healing memories that resurrect a lost loved one to a cherished position within your heart. She will, though in an intangible way, always be with you. The sweet picture you shared at the end of this post tells me you are allowing that healing to do its work. What a precious legacy your mother has left you.Jacqi Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-76312480656195791602012-05-25T15:43:50.550-04:002012-05-25T15:43:50.550-04:00Thank you Maggie.

What wonderful memories, though tinged with sadness. I can no longer give my mother the cards she adored either, but it helps me to light a blue candle in her memory on her birthday, Mother&#39;s Day and Christmas Eve... something I&#39;ve been doing for 30 years.

I don&#39;t want to sound trite but in a way it&#39;s lovely that she, and all of you, had the chance to celebrate one last birthday and Mother&#39;s Day with her. It&#39;s obvious that it was the thoughts and care of her family that were so very important to her. You gave her the blessing of love and care to the last.
